2 days, 1.4 CEUsNote: This course is only offered by our qualified training provider in Turkey.

Overview

Appropriate layout planning is essential for efficient performance. In many plants and warehouses, layout is the most important component of facility planning. Layout affects space usage, materials handling cost and is highly influential on work flow times. Layout determines the flexibility and adjustability of the facility in the reaction to changes in product portfolio and business mission.

Layout must not be executed without considering its accuracy and appropriateness, or must not be left as uncoordinated results of continuous improvement efforts. Such an approach resembles playing “single move chess”. Often, you would regret from your previous move shortly after! A good layout requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account all factors with multiple alternatives reviewed and included.

Our layout and space planning course is based on Systematic Layout Planning (SLP). Developed by Richard Muther and refined as a result of applications in a period of longer than 50 years, SLP is known as the best organized way of developing layout plans worldwide. SLP has been printed through various articles and manuals, and been translated into various languages.

Our course teaches the SLP method and the way of applying it in your projects. It is necessary for those who need to:

Add new equipment or capacity.
